Picture at an Exhibition

Hello Tina,
I really enjoyed this you tell your story and write so simply, yet perfectly balance the imagery with emotion. I think this is one of my favourites on here, thanks for sharing this x

My pleasure, Beeme. And thank you;-)

'A beggar, asleep
by the side of the road,
his shadow strewn
like a discarded blanket.'

- love the opening lines Tina, a very simple yet very beautiful poem ;)

It seems we meet again, this rather dismal and dreary afternoon. You brightened my day though, and I thank you for your words. Hope you've got the sunshine and if you have, send it my way, please;-)

I really like the listing of the 'ordinary' detail and then in contrast the allmost philosophical observation. Simple and rich. Margot

Margot - thank you so much.

Your comments, as always, greatly valued:-)

new Silver-spun-sand well done cherry!
like verse;

a pair of cut down jeans;
one leg missing at the knee-
clasped to his chest an Amber
Rosary. lovely true!
reminds me of "Have You Seen The Old
Man One Streets Of London" with his
worn out shoes. Song!
Bit like my poem
Oh!For A Bed For The Homeless!

Hi Julie! I know what you mean...on every count.

Ralph McTell - wasn't it? 'Streets of London'. The chorus went something like this, or so I remember:-

'Let me take you by the hand - lead you through the streets of London and I will show you something to make you change your mind'.

And yes it certainly has all the sentiment you express in your 'famous' 'Oh for a Bed for the Homeless'.

My thanks to you as always. Your animated comments unfailingly make me smile;-)

Tina xx

Beautiful

Marion - my thanks to you;-)

Have been re-reading some of your posts; they really are good and shall look forward to reading more, as and when.

Tina

Amazing. I really enjoyed the read. Well done.
